10 of the greatest architectural views on Earth

8. TWA Flight Center, JFK, New York

Eero Saakinen’s modernist masterpiece, the TWA Flight Center, opened at JFK Airport in 1962 and closed in 2001. Next year a new TWA Hotel opens, discreetly flanking the original building, which will be its lobby. Stand on the upper floor for Jetson-like views of integrated features, dazzling natural light and the sheer, unbridled optimism of mid-century America.
